It was recently reported that in 2014 HMRC applied to shut down 3,000 businesses due to unpaid tax bills. Of the 3,000 winding up petitions served, HMRC were successful in closing 1,887 firms. Many of these firms will have allowed the action to take place whilst others would have sought to avoid this, possibly by initiating their own insolvency solution such as a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) or Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL).
